SOUTHEND & EMT made it five wins out five with a four wicket triumph against Hutton but skipper Joe Robbins feels it is still too early to be looking at the Division One table.

Southend are currently top of the standings , 10 points clear of second placed Hornchurch.

But Robbins is refusing to get carried away.

“I think it is too early to be looking at league tables if I’m honest,” said the Southend captain.

“Obviously to be top having won all five games is a great place to be but now it's up to us now to kick on into the limited overs games and try and cement our place in the top two.”

Southend put Hutton into bat after winning the toss and the hosts scored 284/8.

Hanuma Vihair, who recently lined up for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, led the way with a fine 117 from 92 balls.

But he was eventually dismissed by Michael Gridley who took 3-66 while Robbins also chipped with 3-99.

In reply, Southend initially struggled as they were reduced to 111-5 but Robbins took centre stage scoring 119 not out to help his side come out on top.

“From both a team and personal level, it was the most pleasing win of the season,” said Robbins.

“We actually did pretty well in keeping them to 284 as at one stage it looked like it would be more than 300.

“But Dan Ingham bowled brilliantly with the new ball and Michael Gridley really restricted them towards the back end of the innings.

“We didn't get off to a great start with the bat but we knew if we could form one substantial partnership, we could get close, and fortunately myself and Matt Wagstaff did that and it was really satisfying to be there not out at the end.”

Wagstaff scored 54 and Southend will now be hoping to make it six wins in a row when they take on Hadleigh & Thundersley this weekend.

However, Hadleigh head into the game on the back of a fine eight wicket win against Upminster.

Upminster batted first and were bowled out for 152 with Richard Straker taking 4-25, Richard Revell 3-22 and Kellon Carmichael 3-38.

Hadleigh then rattled off the required runs for the loss of just two wickets with opener Paul Tibbenham scoring 72 not out and Max Holmes scoring 58 not out.
